Chapter 25: The Soldiers (Continuing to Update)
Zhang Xiucai's eyes widened and his fists clenched, "You, you are unreasonable, and you don't even treat Xiucai preferentially, how is it different from a barbarian?" ”
It couldn't be more reasonable.
Zhu Yiyuan laughed, "You are really wrong, the Qing court inherited the old system of the Ming Dynasty and gave preferential treatment to scholars, otherwise, how about you return to the Qing Dynasty?" ”
Zhang Xiucai's face changed suddenly, he was speechless, he didn't dare to say right, a delicate cold sweat soaked from his forehead, and if he said one more word, the rebels next to him would be able to turn him into a dead Xiucai.
Zhu Yiyuan turned his head and said to the other villagers: "It just so happens that this is a famous talent, he had all kinds of preferential treatment in the past, and the villagers also know it." I want to tell the big guys that from now on, this privilege is gone. No matter what kind of fame you have, you can't occupy more acres of land, and you can't be exempted from taxes and forced labor. ”
At this time, among the rich households, another person mustered up his courage and asked: "Is it true that everyone is the same, and they should be the same as the rich and the poor, and neither rich nor poor?" ”
"That's right!" Zhu Yiyuan said very firmly: "That's true, my family still has less than 100 acres of land in Qingshiji, and I will take it out and divide it equally." But there is one kind of person who can take an extra piece of land. ”
"Who?" Someone immediately asked.
Zhu Yiyuan said: "It is a soldier in the army, according to the rules of Qingshiji, the first-class soldiers can take an additional three acres of land, and the second-class militia can take an additional one acre of land." In addition, no matter how big the official position is and how much merit there is, you can't get more land. After all, land is the lifeblood of big guys, and the most important thing is fairness and justice. ”
Zhu Yiyuan is willing to set an example and give more acres of land to the soldiers and militia, after all, he is playing with his head, and it is a matter of course, and no one can find fault.
The tenants can't wait, the big guys are eager to get the fields, and there are even some young people, gearing up, thinking of joining the rebels and getting a few more acres of land.
At this time, that Zhang Xiucai bowed down again, "What Zhu Gongzi said is indeed good, the cultivator has his land, and the dweller has his house." I also read the books of the sages, so naturally I will not object. It's just that Zhu Gongzi should know that there have always been many drawbacks in Qingzhang's land and acres. The advantages and disadvantages of the acres are different, and the length of the lunge is different. You say you want to be fair, but I'm afraid it may not be fair, right? ”
Zhu Yiyuan had a smile on his face, "Indeed, dividing the field is a sentence, but how to divide it well is not easy." What I mean is that in each village, eight to fifteen old farmers are selected from the village, and these old farmers divide the plots, if it is a good field, the plot will be smaller, if it is a thin field, the plot will be larger, and the output of each acre must be about the same. After they have been divided, the other villagers will take the lead in choosing, and finally the old farmers who will divide the fields will be selected. When there is no objection in a village, it will be registered and confirmed. ”
After listening to Zhu Yiyuan, everyone didn't think there was anything at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they suddenly felt that this trick was full of wisdom and was very operational.
Due to the limited distance, the range of Junda must be within the village. How much land there is in the village and how much food it can produce, in fact, the big guys have a number.
Let the old farmers divide the land, they definitely have the ability to divide it more fairly and reasonably.
The only question is how to make them willing to share fairly.
Whoever divides the field takes it later...... If you don't share it fairly, you can only keep the worst plot for yourself, and no fool wants to do that.
After the division of a village, the registration is confirmed, and the land deed is granted...... Zhu Yiyuan can also grasp the final verification power, and if the distribution is outrageous, he can also correct it.
Including in the middle of the division of fields, if anyone bullies others and runs rampant in the township, they can be found out immediately and severely punished.
As for the upper, middle and lower fields that he was used to, Zhu Yiyuan gave up, there is no doubt that the more complicated things are, the more problems there will be when they are implemented, and the more drawbacks there will be in the middle.
According to his method, the output of each block is not too different, and it is convenient to collect taxes and easy to operate.
While it can't be said to be perfect, it can't be found to be obvious.
These tenants in Dazhuang Village got together and discussed for a while, and they became more and more energetic...... You see other things, the people can't kick a fart with three feet, but when it comes to land issues, the big guys are very concerned.
Zhu Yiyuan has already spoken, and the villagers have asked for details again, solved the doubts in their hearts, and can't wait, they want to implement it immediately, and quickly grasp the land in their own hands, this is true.
Even more anxious than these tenant farmers are the homeless people.
The tenant farmers still have land, they have nothing, they have nothing but one life, that is, the fifty catties of rations issued by Zhu Yiyuan, and nothing else.
"Zhu Gongzi, what do you say we should do? Can it be like them? The homeless people asked anxiously.
Zhu Yiyuan smiled on his face, "Don't worry, big guy, I say the same, it must be the same." But as you have also seen, this season's autumn harvest, to hand over the grain to these villagers, the big guys have worked hard for months and can't be snatched away. And I won't collect this season's field rent and taxes, in a word, let the villagers eat a full meal and taste the sweetness. ”
"After the autumn harvest, the fields will be redivided, and each village will have some extra acres of land, as well as wasteland. According to the number of acres of land, I will break up the big guys and organize them into various villages. Then enter it into the yellow book together, and you will be the same as the villagers. ”
Zhu Yiyuan's arrangement is reasonable, after all, agricultural production has seasons, and you can't divide the fields at any time. Take care of the original farmers, and give hope to the displaced people.
It's only a little over a month, and the rations for the big guys are just to get through this time.
Zhu Gongzi thinks about everything.
Suddenly, another young homeless person asked, "Master Zhu, can we also join the army?" I want to be a soldier, I want more fields! ”
When he said this, the other homeless people all shouted, some of them were old, with gray beards and patting their chests, and they wanted to be soldiers, just to get an extra three acres of land.
Zhu Yiyuan smiled on his face, and said unhurriedly: "Fighting is not child's play, you must choose young and strong, but don't worry about being old." The big guys have experience, and there are jobs that suit you. Although you can't take more acres, you still have wages. All in all, we are all a family, working together and twisting into a fist in order to survive in this unfortunate world. ”
Compared with the villagers, there are all kinds of calculations, and when it comes to the homeless people, the big guys are reasonable, and they don't have anything to say. And soon selected more than 200 young people and gathered behind Zhu Yiyuan.
Once you become an outcast, you are not a human being, you are an animal, you are a wild beast.
The elderly, the weak, women and children, especially the children, are a piece of meat in the pot.
Easy to eat, that's not just four words. Someone has indeed tasted that.
Even the Qing court will only treat them as slaves and slaves...... It is no exaggeration to say that only by following Zhu Yiyuan can they hope to squeeze from the herd into the crowd and regain their lives.
These homeless people are simply more loyal to Zhu Yiyuan than the villagers of Qingshiji.
Zhu Yiyuan did not treat them badly, and after discussing the main things, Zhu Yiyuan led the big guy to the Zhang family compound to rest first.
In less than half a month, this compound has changed three owners, from the Zhang family, to Xie Qian, and then to Zhu Yiyuan, which is really unpredictable.
When the homeless people come in, their eyes are not enough to see, this blue brick house is really good.
After Zhu Yiyuan walked in, he said directly: "Those who enthusiastically joined the army just now and wanted to become soldiers all stood up. I'm going to tell you about the first military rule of being a soldier. ”
The young men hurriedly stood up and stared at Zhu Yiyuan, waiting for a reprimand.
Zhu Yiyuan said: "The big guys are all from homeless people, and they know the hardships of the villagers. Therefore, we must put the people first in everything, love the people, and put the villagers first. We are the children of peasants, and we must be soldiers, not bandits who harm the common people, understand? ”
The young men were stunned for a moment, and then nodded one after another, "Yes, we understand!" ”
Know a fart!
Zhu Yiyuan is not stupid, if he can understand so quickly, they are not outcasts, but saints with high morals.
In the final analysis, it is necessary to lead by example and educate the big guys little by little through daily actions.
"Well, let's arrange for the villagers to live in a first-class house now. You're at the back of the line. ”
After speaking, Zhu Yiyuan walked into the low gatehouse by himself, leaving a surprised gaze......
